Starbucks barista is not exactly the kind of high-pay, high-status position that I thought these people would be seeking to re-segregate first, but I guess the idea here is that women and people of color are so dramatically inferior as to be unfit for any employment at all. - ThreadSky

Reposted from Judd Legum

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"

This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

in addition to the rank bigotry, the absolute irony of this. every time I’m in rural PA and white people are working at the fast food place, the service is 900x worse

Seems like maybe they are giving Starbucks a pretext to fire union-supporting workers en masse?

I once worked as a technician where the workforce was mostly women. This was in part because a lot of men wouldn't even apply for such a low-paying job, even if they were unemployed and their wives supported them.

Working in the fields?
I bet they have this all gamed out too.

A crack forms in the governing coalition: should women and minorities be confined to the service sector underclass, or should they be completely excised from public participation?

You joke but that's literally a thing happening between the Bannon group and the Musk group

pensandlighters.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yup, jokes can be funny because they’re true. These ghouls are doing all this right out in the open.

It’s interesting how they complain that “no one wants to work anymore” while trying to put a large chunk of the population out of work

Starbucks has also just been a target in the culture war for a few decades now. Like, not even the red cup thing, but Republicans go on and on about blue haired baristas all the time

What????? We tried, we honestly tried, three times to keep these racists out of government. We failed and apologize to the world for their racist, sexist and infantile bullying behavior.

also they probably still have just fixated on starbucks as liberal heaven, which is a stereotype like a decade+ out of touch

Modern Starbucks is for SUV driving suburbanites. The real liberal elites drink at the coffee shop downtown that doesn't even have parking.

I suspect the idea is they'll need people to pick cotton and food after tossing all the immigrants out. Next step, slavery.

I don't want to get the employees of the Starbucks I go to (one of the places I work has no other cafés nearby) in trouble.. but... they don't *not* tell me they don't double plus unenjoy working there

Over the past twenty years or so Starbucks specifically has been a right wing fixation as some kind of elite super liberal business where somehow the baristas are honorary elites. Very strange.
